Shannon has been a powerful opponent of Gender Ideology in schools, fearlessly calling out the devastating harm of transgenderism being pushed on kids.  His view on abortion is not fully aligned with ours, but with enough education about biological science, fetal development and ethics, he could potentially be brought to a pro-life position.

Rating Comments: In April 2019, Councillor McKenney, a self-professed "lesbian" who uses the Trangender-styled plural pronoun "they" in refusal of her true God-given identity, revealed her pro-abortion bias when she complained against a pro-life advertisement in the Ottawa transit system, insisting that the pro-life ad "leads you to ... advocacy groups that are anti-choice and very much misleading and have no place on our public transit system," and that it threatens to “reverse decades of pro-choice gains.”

On September 9, 2020, Ottawa City Council passed a biased and unjust Motion - co-sponsored by Councillor McKenney - to "formally denounce" the practice of Conversion Therapy and to urge higher levels of government to ban this helpful therapeutic practice. Conversion Therapy (better described as Reparative Therapy) is a form of traditional talk therapy designed to help individuals who request assistance to overcome unwanted gender identity confusion and same-sex attraction. Ottawa City Council's high-handed condemnation of, and Councillor McKenney's militant opposition to, this beneficial therapy clearly demonstrates a totalitarian attitude that seeks to impose the LGBT agenda on everyone, and especially on children who are vulnerable to indoctrination through LGBT-pushing sex education in schools. The condemnation also presents an implicit and ominous threat to those who defend and teach key Christian principles on human sexuality, including public prayer and evangelization to call LGBT practitioners out of a sinful lifestyle. This reckless Motion passed unanimously.

In 2022, McKenney was a candidate for Mayor of Ottawa.

The Ontario Liberal Pary is officially pro-abortion, as evidenced by an official statement posted on its website following the June 2022 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision, whereby one of the party's commissions declared that "the people of Ontario should have safe and accessible reproductive health, including abortions."

The Ontario Liberal Party is also an official supporter of LGBT ideology, as evidenced by multiple statements and declarations by the leader and on its website. For instance, in June 2024, Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie released a statement honoring and celebrating the "contributions" of so-called 2SLGBTQIA+ Ontarians. She emphasized the importance of recognizing the history of Pride as a protest movement. Crombie stated, "Love is love, not just during Pride but every day of the year." These statements reflect the Ontario Liberal Party's ongoing support for LGBT ideology.

Based on official party policy statement issued June 11, 2014 declaring support for abortion and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for elective abortions. This written policy was emailed to CLC by the Green Party of Ontario’s Policy Coordinator, Jessica Higgins. It's also notable that the Green party leader is a fierce opponent of Catholic moral teaching in Catholic schools and strongly supports the homosexual pride parade, an event which breaks the law each year by featuring naked men and mock sex acts through the streets of Toronto.
